After Action Report

In a track meet, the Clippers snuck past the Hornets 115-113 in overtime. Clippers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
